dana 35 clunking

I just bought a nother YJ its a 1990 w/2.5 5spd has lots of upgrades black diamond coil over conversion,and has warn hubs all around. I bought from my buddy. he thought it needed a trans I drove it yesterday. clunking from rear end. has 4.56 gears and open diff. looks like side and spider gears are bad one has bad tooth, Question is what was done when hubs were installed can I just replace side and spider gears should I add a lock right locker? has no c clips are these spider and aide gears part of the hub kit? did this diff have c clips? I know axels are part of hub kit, did they change spiders and side gears

Not to be insulting here but have you checked the U-Joints. That is normally where you get a clunking sound. Just a thought

The spyders are easy to replace. Buy new gears and throw them in.
Took me all of ten minutes to replace the two floating gears. If you need to replace the axle shaft spyders, It's pretty easy to do that as well..

But if you want to eliminate the D35 for a stronger axle, maybe this is your window of opportunity. '95 to '01 Ford Explorer rear end is the most popular upgrade for the YJ.
